With the date nearly upon us for Googa Mooga 2013, as much as we have learned, New York still seems to have a great way of keeping secret the best things it has to offer and then letting the world know it happened afterwards via friends twitter and Facebook accounts.

Also, Marlow & Daughters is a butcher/produce shop a few doors down – we bought the House Liver Pate to go. Nicole Feldhaus, a friend, … Continue reading →

We really enjoyed the calzones at this somewhat famed pizza spot. We had spent the day in Williamsburg with Steve’s family and went to a show at the Brooklyn Bowl, so we were a bit toasted and needing some food. The pizzas looked fantastic, but we opted for the calzones. They were really amazing. Calzones (served w/Watercress Salad): Tomato, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan, $14 Prosciutto, Cherry Tomatoes, Mixed Mushrooms, Ricotta, Mozzarella, $14 Warnings: Hipster alert!!
